5 Best Korean Restaurants near Jersey City

“Ondo was exceptional! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. While the layout and vibe of the restaurant are more casual than upscale, the quality of the food more than makes up for it.

Chef Brian Kim, the owner of Ondo, also created the Michelin-starred Oiji Mi in NYC—so it’s no surprise that this spot is just as impressive. Ondo offers a tasting menu that’s a more affordable yet equally delicious alternative to Oiji Mi. It’s a fantastic way to experience elevated Korean cuisine without the Michelin price tag.

Chef Brian also owns other restaurants, including Domo Domo, and Ondo is a wonderful addition to his portfolio. The restaurant is co-owned with his wife, who leads the pastry program, adding a sweet finishing touch to an already amazing meal. Definitely worth a visit!“

“I ordered the 8 wings meal, ate 4, and put my remaining 4 in the fridge for a day. They were still crispy. I don't understand how this place manages to defy physics, but I'm happy they can. Bonus notes: the wings are BIG, they have hands down the best fries in the area, and the super friendly employees love giving you small bites of other things to sample. Highly recommend Kimchi Guys to literally anyone.“

“Delicious Hot Pot and/or Korean BBQ!“

“We enjoyed every bite!! The spicy wings were 10/10. Not very spicy but a fantastic flavor. The japche with pork was delicious. And the gimbop with spicy tuna was great. It wasn’t crowded and it was affordable compared to these crazy prices nowadays. This was a WIN 👏“

“I have come to Itto’s for years. I love their sushi. I have never have a negative experience here. Andy did a great job tonight and was very friendly. I’m a sucker for the fried rolls and have never seen the coconut shrimp rolls in other places. I love their Groupons and specials.“
